"Intimate Therapy": Who knows about the sex of the disabled

This is another story about a disabled person who is paralyzed except for the movement of his head, but it is not as interesting as the French film "Unreachable", nor is it as singing and dancing as the Indian film "A Request in the Rain". It was just a polio patient who had a successful career in the past years who pursued sex. After hesitating to get the pastor's acquiescence, he began a bold exploration of bed matters. If we say that when we see this kind of bridge, we will feel that it is an impossible task, then it will be even more unbelievable to hear that there are professionals who provide services for it in the world. Moreover, the whole film vividly interprets the most bizarre "six lessons in bed" in the world.

The film was adapted from real people and was written and directed by Ben Lewin, who had also suffered from polio, and found the sensational Mark O’Brien’s autobiographical article "Experience "Sexual Therapy" is used as a reference to make this film take shape. The actor John Harks and the big-name actress Helen Hunter were led by the director. The director originally hoped to star in a truly disabled person, but found that it was an even more impossible task before he was able to give up.

The sci-fi scenes where all limbs are gone, and only a mouth is left to be charming, have only appeared in Zhou Xingchi's movie "Variety of the Stars". Nowadays, there are real examples. Say it's not true, but it's so vivid. It does not count to receive careful bed guidance, but to win the favor and favor of many women with humorous words and optimistic personality. In the end, a funeral that can be regarded as a "grand" scene was held. Can only sigh, there is nothing strange in the world. If you are a verbal audience and think that you can see bold and exciting points in the film, you may be a little disappointed, because this is a fresh and elegant sexual exploration drama.
